Which type of protein powder is good for muscle recovery?

Gainful has a number of great ingredient options for muscle recovery. Fast-absorbing whey protein isolate is particularly helpful if your goal is post-workout recovery. Since whey isolate is quick-digesting, it will get into your muscles rapidly for optimal repair.

However, for muscle repair and regrowth overnight, our micellar casein protein is your best bet. It's extremely slow releasing and digesting, and takes 3-4 hours to reach peak levels. If you would like to learn more about your suggested protein source and how effective it is for muscle recovery, reach out to your Registered Dietitian by logging into Gainful.com and navigating to the "My Dietitian" tab.
